IMPORTANT:

ETA and ETIAS only apply because we're no longer in the EU.

If we were an EU member, neither UK citizens nor EU citizens would need to worry about either.

Thanks, Brexit!

Cokey wants people in Wisconsin to vote for Brad "Schimmel."

Bro's last name is Schimel.

His father couldn't even remember his name and posted "JUST CALL HIM BRAD."

How embarrassing.

Get out and vote for Susan Crawford!

It's now just generally accepted in Westminster - including by Tories - that Badenoch not make the next election. Unless there's a remarkable turnaround the question is just about timing.

One of the most difficult questions in politics right now is why Labour will not increase taxes on the wealthy. They could, and they should.

This is what tactical voting has unleashed, a huge majority of neoliberal lunatics who expunged the left, hoovered up corporate donations, lied and reneged on manifesto pledges, and are now an even crueller version of the Tory Party.

Today's Teesside Lead is totally free to read because I thought it was important people got to see what happens at TVCA's meetings.

Ben Houchen called the public's questions "completely insane" then threatened to kick them out.

The World Cup in 2026 should definitely be taken away from the US.
⚽️🏆

America is clearly not safe to travel to.
🇺🇸 ❌

Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here.
🇲🇽 🇨🇦 v 🇺🇸

Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.

Congratulations to Greenland’s new government and Premier-elect Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

You deserve partners who respect you and treat you as equals.

And the European Union is proud to be such a partner for you.

Hillary Clinton in a new NYT op-ed:

“As a businessman, he bankrupted his Atlantic City casinos. Now he’s gambling with the national security of the United States. If this continues, a group chat foul will be the least of our concerns, and all the fist and flag emojis in the world won’t save us.” 🍿

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.

Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

Donald Trump and MAGA are trying to spin the call with Canadian Prime Minister today as some kind of win.

In reality, Mark Carney told Donald that he will be "implementing retaliatory tariffs to protect Canadian workers."
